본 연구에서는 단일 탄소원과 질소원으로 aniline을 이용하는 것으로 보고된 바 있는 Bukholderia sp. HY1과 Deiftia sp. HY99로부터 aniline의 첫 번째 분해 단계에 관련된 aniline dioxygenas의 위치를 확인하고 그 유전자를 클로닝하여 아미노산 서열을 결정하고 비교하였다. 한 개 이상의 플라스미드 DNA를 포함하고 있을 것으로 조사된 B.a sp. HY1에서 유래된 플라스미드의 curing 실험을 통해, B. sp. HY1의 aniline oxygenase는 플라스미드가 아닌 염색체 DNA에 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. B. sp. HY1과 D. sp. HY99에서 유래된 aniline dioxygenase small subunit는 146개 아미노산을 기준으로 약 79%의 상동성을 보였다. 특히, B. sp. HY1으로부터 얻어진 ado2는 aniline dioxygenase small subunit의 terminal dioxygenase에 속하는 것으로 Frateuria sp. ANA-18의 tdnA2와 99%, 그리고 Delftia sp. HY99의 ado2는 Delftia sp. AN3의 danA2와 99% 이상의 아미노산 상동성을 나타내었다. 또한 본 연구에서 두 균주에서 얻어진 catechol oxygenase의 아미노산 서열분석을 통해 B. sp. HY1은 catechol 1,2-dioxygenase에 의해 ortho pathway를 D. sp. HY99는 catechol 2,3-dioxygenase에 의해 meta pathway를 운영할 것이라는 이전 보고를 강력하게 뒷받침해 주었다.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the nahC gene from Pseudomonas fluorescens, the structural gene for 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene (1,2-DHN) dioxygenase, was determined. The 1,2-DHN dioxygenase is an extradiol ring-cleavage enzyme that cleaves the first ring of 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. The amino acid sequence of the dioxygenase deduced from the nucleotide sequence suggested that the holoenzyme consists of eight identical subunits with a molecular weight of approximately 34,200. The amino acid sequence of 1,2-DHN dioxygenase showed more than $90\%$ homology with those of the dioxygenases of other Pseudomonas strains. However, sequence similarity with those of the Sphingomonas species was less than $60\%$. The nahC gene of P. fluorescens was moderately expressed in E. coli NM522, as determined by enzymatic activity.

The aromatic dioxygenase system in Sphingomonas yanoikuyae strain Bl consists of three components, an oxygenase, a ferredoxin, and a reductase. The insertional knockout of the bphA4 gene encoding a reductase and subsequent complementation experiments showed that the reductase encoded by bphA4 in S. yanoikuyae strain Bl is associated with multiple dioxygenase components including that of toluate dioxygenase (XyIXY).

Pseudomonas sp. P20 isolated from the polluted environment is capable of degrading biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl. The pcbABCD genes responsible for degradation of biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl were cloned using pBluescript SK(+) from the chromosomal DNA of Pseudomonas sp. P20 to construct pCK1 and pCK102, harbouring pcbABCD and pcbCD, respectively. The 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase gene, pcbC, was cloned again from pCK102 by using pKT230 which is known as a shuttle vector and pKK1 hybrid plasmid was constructed. The E. coli KK1 transformant obtained by transforming the pKK1 into E. coli XL1-Blue showed 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase activity. The specific 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenase activity of E. coli KK1 was similar to that of the E. coli CK102, but much higher than those of the natural isolates, Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 and Pseudomonas sp. P20.

Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase was purified from cells of R. rhodochrous N75 grown at the expense of benzoate and p-toluate as the sole sources of carbon. A single catechol 1,2-dioxygenase was found to be induced with either growth substrate. The enzyme has an estimated $M_r$ of 71,000 consisting of two identical subunits. Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase from R. rhodochrous N75 exhibits some unusual properties including: broad substrate specificity, extradiol cleavage activity with 4-methylcatechol and low $K_m$ values for halocatechols, suggesting that this enzyme is distinct from other known catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenases.

Achromobacter xylosoxidans KF701 and Pseudomonas putida (NAH7) were significantly different in degradative capability of aromatic compounds including benzoates, biphenyls, and naphthalene. However, both of the bacterial strains can grown on catechol as the sole carbon and energy source. Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene for naphthalene oxidation or biphenyl oxidation was cloned into Escherichia coli HB 701. A E. coli HB 101 clone containing catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene from P. putida (NAH7) contains a recombinant plasmid with 3.60kb pBR322 and 6-kb insert DNA. Another E. coli HB101 clone containing catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene from A. xylosoxidans KF 701 has a recombinant plasmid with 4.4kb pBR322 and 10-kb insert DNA. Physical maps of the recombinant plasmids were constructed, and catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene in the recombinant plasmide was further localized and subcloned int M13. The cloned-catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase game products were identified as yellow bands on nondenaturaing polyacrylamide gel after electrophoresis followed by activity staining with catechol solution.

본 연구에서는 톨루엔 분해 균주인 Pseudomonas putida와 아세트산 분해 균주인 Cupriavidus necator에 무세포 효소 시스템(cell-free enzyme system)을 적용하여 톨루엔과 아세트산에 대한 분해 가능성을 확인하는 실험을 수행하였다. P. putida는 톨루엔 존재 하에서만 toluene dioxygenase를 생성하여 톨루엔을 cis-toluene dihydrodiol로 분해하며, C. necator는 acetyl coenzyme A synthetase-1을 생성하여 아세트산을 acetyl CoA로 전환시켜 생존에 필요한 ATP나 생분해성(biodegradable) 고분자인 Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)를 합성한다. P. putida의 톨루엔 분해 효소인 toluene dioxygenase는 유도효소이기 때문에 toluene dioxygenase 생성 전과 후로 나누어 실험을 진행하였다. P. putida의 톨루엔 분해능력 확인을 위한 gas chromatography (GC) 분석 결과, 대조군과 toluene dioxygenase 생성 전인 실험군 1에서는 검출된 톨루엔의 양이 거의 유사하였으나, toluene dioxygenase 생성 후인 실험군 2에서는 검출된 톨루엔의 양이 대조군 및 실험군 1에 비해 감소하였다. 또한 C. necator의 아세트산 분해능력 확인을 위한 gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) 분석 결과, 무세포 효소 시스템을 적용한 실험군에서는 아세트산에 대한 피크가 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 P. putida와 C. necator는 무세포 효소 시스템 적용 후에도 톨루엔 및 아세트산 분해 능력이 유지되었으나, P. putida는 무세포 효소 시스템을 적용하기 전에 유도 효소를 생성하는 과정이 필요하다.

2,3-DHBP dioxygenase was purified from E. coli CK1092 carrying the pcbC gene, which was cloned from 4-chlorobiphenyl-degrading Pseudomonas sp. P20. Purification of this enzyme was done by acetone precipitation, DEAE- Sephadex A-25 ion exchange chromatography, and preparative gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of subunit was 34 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE, and that of native enzyme was about 270 kDa. It suggests that this enzyme consist of eight identical subunits. This enzyme was specifically active against only 2,3-DHBP as a substrate with 18 $\mu$M of Km value, but not catechol, 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol and 4-chlorocatechol. The optimal pH and temperature of 2,3-DHBP dioxygenase were pH 8.0 and 40-60$\circ$C. The enzyme was inhibited by Cu$^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{3+}$ ions, and was inactivated by H$_{2}$0$_{2}$2 and EDTA. The lower concentrations of some organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol don't stabilize the activity of 2,3-DHBP dioxygenase. The enzyme was completely inactivated by adding the reagents such as N-bromosuccinimide, iodine and p- diazobenzene sulfonic acid.

2,3-Dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DHBD), which catalyzes the ring meta-cleavage of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl, is encoded by the phnQ gene of biphenyl- and phenanthrene-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ77. We determined the nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment of 1497 base pairs which included the phnQ gene. The fragment lncluded an open reading frame of 903 base pairs to accommodate the enzyme. The predicted amino acid sequence of the enzyme subunit consisted of 300 residues. In front of the gene, a sequence resembling an E. coli promoter was identified, which led to constitutive expression of the cloned gene in E. coli. The deduced amino acid sequence of the PhnQ enzyme exhibited 85.6% identity with that of the corresponding enzyme in Sphingomonas yanoikuyae Q1 (formerly S. paucimobilis Q1) and 22.1% identity with that of catechol 1,2,3-dioxygenase from the same DJ77 strain. PhnQ showed broader substrate preference than previously-cloned PhnE, catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. Ten amino acid residues, considered to be important for the role of extradiol dioxygenases, were conserved.

Pseudomonas sp. DJ77의 게놈 library로부터 phenanthrene 분해에 관련된 유전자를 포함하는 약 5-kb의 XhoI 절편을 pBLUESCRIPT SK(+)로 클로닝하였으며, 이 재조합 plasmid를 pUPX5라 명명하였다. 이 재조합 균주에 catechol과 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 용액을 분무하면 노란색의 meta-cleavage 화합물이 생성됨을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 그리고 효소 활성을 측정한 결과 catechol에서보다 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl에 더 큰 활성을 나타냈다. 이 부분에 존재하는 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase 유전자의 위치를 결정하고, 이 유전자를 phnQ라 명명하였다.
